However, the Norwegian sparked up chaos following his wild celebration in front of Yassine Bounou after converting the spot-kick - his action aggravated the anger of the visitors.
According to Daily Mail, they confronted Haaland on the touchline and tensions were raised before the referee eventually diffused the situation.
He's the fastest player in competition history to reach that record and managed it in 10 fewer appearances than Harry Kane, the previous record holder.
The 20-year-old has already scored more Champions League goals than some legends of the game, including Ronaldinho, Francesco Totti, Carlos Tevez, Radamel Falcao and Romelu Lukaku.
His goals weren't enough for Dortmund to win the match as Youssef En-Nesyri scored twice but the German side progress 5-4 on aggregate.
Legit.ng earlier reported that Real Madrid manager Zinedine Zidane has expressed his admiration for the duo of Erling Haaland and Paris Saint-Germain striker Kylian Mbappe following their impressive games in the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappe was in great form for PSG as the Frenchman scored three goals for the French champions in their perfect win over Spanish giants Barcelona.
Haaland on the other hand inspired Borussia Dortmund with two goals in their comeback win over Sevilla.
